Giselle did an amazing job on my hair for our wedding this past weekend! She's extremely detailed and knows how to work with all types of hair. I got my hair done at 10 AM and by the end of the night (12 AM), it was still in place and looked exactly the same. She's a delight to work with as well- very friendly, personable, professional, and patient! You will have no regrets getting your hair styled by her.

Not only does Giselle do excellent wedding work but I have been going to her to get haircuts for over 12 years now. She is the BEST. Patient. Easy to work with. Knowledgeable. Follows your requests. Sweet. Friendly. And, gives an awesome haircut. If you've only thought of her for wedding updos....think again!!!! Love you, Giselle!

If Giselle is available on your wedding date BOOK HER NOW! I loved working with Giselle. She did wonders for myself, my mom, my bridesmaids and flower girls. Everybody's hair looked stunning. Originally I was going to book "Updo for I Do's", but after my hair trial with them, I was not impressed. I was kind of upset I already paid for a hair trial, but I paid for another one with Giselle, and what a difference! She is on another level. I liked everything we tried with my hair, so it was very hard to settle on a specific look. At the first trial she gave me some tips of what to do to get my hair ready for the big day. I LOVED my hair on my wedding day. It looked amazing and stayed up all night through the wedding and after party. Not a hair moved out of place. Even the little flower girls' hair stayed intact all night. I highly recommend Giselle.

Giselle was an absolute delight to have as my hair stylist for my wedding day. I had 8 bridesmaids and myself getting hair styled and Giselle, not only got all their hair done ahead of schedule, but completely delivered on each bridesmaids desired hair style. My bridesmaids could not stop raving about how quickly and well done Giselle's services were. I would absolutely recommend Giselle to anyone looking for an amazing, professional, and personable hair stylist for their big day!

Thank you Maddie!!! Your wedding party was so sweet! They were all on time and knew what they wanted in advance which is a big factor when staying on a good timeline. You all looked beautiful! Please keep in touch for future special events or if anyone in your party will be getting married herself. Sincerely Giselle

After searching and searching for a hair professional for my wedding day, I found Giselle. Giselle is so talented and extremely patient. She will work with you until you are completely happy and she is so meticulous and has so many tricks up her sleeve, I truly do not think there is anything Giselle cannot do. Giselle handled my very particular mother very well, even agreeing to do a trial for my mom as well. At the trial, Giselle tweaked my mom's hair cut to ensure it looked perfect for the wedding day. Giselle is a sweetheart and was just the calming influence I needed on a bit of a stressful wedding day, as we had to move the outdoor ceremony inside at the last minute and that decision needed to be made right in the middle of hair and makeup. Giselle did not let it interfere and did an amazing job. Even though Giselle is probably one of the most expensive wedding hair professionals, I am sure it was worth it and did not have to worry at all about anything related to hair.

Lauren! Thanks so much for your sweet and thoughtful review. It really helps others to better understand my services and I can't wait to see your photos. My services are a rare niche so the rates I charge reflect the extensive training I've had in DC, NY & London. I love what I do and ensure every clients needs are met. I've also made it a priority to focus on the details at the trial runs so that day of everything can run smoothly. I'm so happy you were pleased and it was a pleasure to be of service to you and your mother. Congratulations!!! Sincerely Giselle

Giselle was friendly and professional. I had my heart set on wearing a tiara and she made the whole look stunning. The trials are helpful as she helps you make a plan and offers suggestions. I danced all night and my hair/tiara still looked great. Giselle understands how your hair will translate in photos, and this makes a real difference. She did an amazing job!!!!

Giselle is amazing! She is so easy to work with (which was great because I was planning a DC wedding from Connecticut). From the first trial, it was clear I was in good hands. She got my "vision" right away. On my wedding day she did my five bridesmaids hair and it came out great. They each wanted something different, but she was able to still make it all look cohesive. Most of all I loved that she made all of our hair look soft and natural, not the clique wedding/prom hair.

Gizelle did amazing things with my wimpy, thin hair! She made it look fabulous and I got many compliments from my friends and family! I have used her for several formals as well as my wedding and rehearsal dinner and several of my friends have also used her and loved her. I will never call on anyone else when I need my hair done for a special occasion! She is extremely flexable and was willing to come to my house at 5:15 AM on the morning of my wedding. She is super sweet and fun and amazingly fast. She is very reasonably priced and gave me some special little extras for no extra charge.

It was such a pleasure working with you and I think your style was just lovely! I cannot wait to see your photos when they're ready.

Having such an early start that day is all part of the process and was very happy to do so, great planning!

To sum up the amazing professionalism and wealth of experience Giselle brought to our wedding day let me just say that she did hair for 8 of us -- all by herself! Different age ranges, a mix of updos and styles, and a range of hair types. She handled it all with ease and kept us on time. She was calm, so nice to work with and never did I worry about how it would all turn out. Giselle's wealth of experience and true expertise is clear. Also, I had to change my hair trial about a dozen times due to schedule conflicts and Giselle was super about dealing with all my emails to reschedule. On wedding day my hair was absolutely perfect. Based on Giselle's recommendations I added filler (I didn't even know what that was before meeting Giselle!) and it made such a difference in my updo with the headpiece I had purchased. I was so happy with my look on wedding day. She's a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride considering her for the big day!

I just can't say enough about Giselle's wonderful talent and lovely personality. My own hairstylist bailed ten days before my wedding and I was so fortunate to have Giselle step in and seamlessly take over. Giselle was prompt, professional, worked quickly, and did a spectacular job on my bridal party. My hair was *perfection*, and I couldn't have asked for more on my wedding day.
